Warren; The one I have now is the .146 blade. I didn't think that .010 would make much difference in front sight height. I have to go away on business for a few days but I'll take this up with you when I return. The M-66 is a nice gun I just have to get it shooting to the same zip code as I'm aiming.

I'm home and measured the height of my front sight on my 66 No Dash. It is .210. Do you think that going to a .200 will get the rear sight down enough so I don't have to worry about shooting loose the rear sight. Right now there is only about 2 threads holding on the rear sight elevation screw and it's still about 6-8 inches low at 50 FEET. The gun is a M-66 No Dash with a 4 inch barrel. It shoots this low with mild 357's loaded with 173 grain bullets at about 1000 fps. Shoots even lower with 158 grainers at the same fps. I guess I could always buy a sight and then file it down but really don't want to do that. The other option besides replacing the rear sight blade with a taller one is to buy a complete sight (front and rear) from you. If I do buy the complete set can I be assured that the POA and POI will be close enough that I still have some usable adjustments left both up and down? I have had many S&W's K frames and N and J's but this is the first time I ran into this problem. Thanks Virgil

I will be home in about an hour so I can measure the sight then. Am I correct in thinking that the .125 width is standard for S&W ? Can you give me information on your Pay Pal so that I can get the $$ to you? Thank you Virgil

Warren; I have a M-66 No Dash that is driving me nuts. At 50 feet all shots are 6-8 inches low when shooting 357, 158 grain bullets. I need a shorter front sight because the rear sight is about a turn away from being at it's highest point. No more room to raise it! I understand a common problem with both the M-66 and M-19 with 357 mag ammo. I don't have the pistol in front of me now but it is all stock and I believe the front sight height is .250. Do you have any .200 all black pinned sights left that I could purchase? I just need one. Thanks for your time. Virgil
